TMA-TOMCAT-6.2
Ensure SSLEnabled is set to True for Sensitive Connectors
Description
The SSLEnabled setting determines if SSL is enabled for a specific Connector. It is recommended that SSL be utilized for any Connector that sends or receives sensitive information, such as authentication credentials or personal information. Manual review: the benchmark gives no reliable automated check for this control.
How it is checked
Audit method: Manual review
This recommendation cannot be checked automatically. A scan lists it with these instructions when you pass --include-manual.
Review the server.xml and ensure all Connectors sending or receiving sensitive information have the SSLEnabled attribute set to true.
How it is fixed
Fix method: Guidance or infrastructure patch
In server.xml, set the SSLEnabled attribute to true for each Connector that sends or receives sensitive information <Connector … SSLEnabled="true" … />
